Associates of Aleksei Navalny, who died in February in a Russian penal colony, say a concert has been scheduled in his memory in Berlin on June 4, which would have been the opposition politician’s 48th birthday. Navalny’s associates announced the event on Telegram on April 26, saying they want to ensure that the name Navalny and his ideas continue to be heard. They said Russian President Vladimir Putin will not be able to defeat Navalny as long as he is remembered. Among the artists scheduled to perform are rapper Noize MC and the Russian hip-hop duo Aigel. To read the full story by RFE/RL's Russian Service, click here.
